Konee Rok: Restlessness Is My Nemesis:

Great profile of a Chicago Music Video Director. I especially liked this quote:

“A Poor Craftsman Always Blames His Tools
That’s my whole thing transcending tools. How cool is it to be utilizing none to terrible tools? You can get anything done anyway you want to do it, if you really want to do it. Rhymefest was complaining about the money, ‘if I had this much money, I’d be able to do this.’ Kanye told him you sound like a wife.’ You don’t get that money until you prove you can do it without that money. Resources will come, you just got to prove you can make it happen before that."

Techlearning > > Values to Pass On

"Dedicated to the premise 'The values we live by are worth more when we pass them on,' the Foundation for a Better Life has created an interactive site for stories based on an alphabetical list of 50 values, ranging from Ambition to Vision. Each label leads to a page where users may post audio, written, and video stories related to that particular value. It is in blog-format, which should appeal to today's generation. This is an excellent site for class discussions, essay-writing, narrative writing, etc."
